Notifications, or ways to alert you about updates when you do not have the Blink app open, are very similar across device operating systems. Android allows you to customize alert sounds per-app.
Certain Blink system alerts and events show you Push notifications according to your Notification Options. Motion alerts and doorbell presses create notifications that you can tap to enter Live View with two-way talk. The doorbell in Event Response will only allow tap for 60 seconds.
Push Notifications:
- Low Battery - Sent when camera battery State is ok and drops quickly to 2.5 or less; or it can send when two reports in a row show battery Status of 2.6 or less.
- Camera Offline Notification - If a camera is unresponsive for two heartbeats (approximately 30 minutes).
- Sync Module Offline - If a Sync Module is unresponsive for two heartbeats (approximately 30 minutes).
- Doorbell Offline -If a doorbell is offline for two heartbeats (30 minutes, or up to 48 hours in Event Response).
- Motion Alert - You can tap the motion alert to enter Live View in the Blink app.
- Doorbell Press - You can tap the notification to enter Live View.
